Diane has me in tears!

There he is! Hello Ed!

Me too

I think he's probably incredibly ambitious and from a background where the pressure to 'succeed' is overwhelming. The draw of the office of PM must be an incredibly strong one. Its likely he never really considered the realities of being PM, particularly following Boris and Truss and their legacies.

Do we get speeches from all the leaders? Including you know who?

I wonder if Diane Abbott has a health condition that makes her shake slightly, certainly looks that way.

Oof grumbles...

I thought that @tobee

Yup. Ugh.

I suspect Rishi was perfectly happy counting things and messing around with spreadsheets as Chancellor. He really was a 'least worst' option as, perhaps reluctant, Tory PM given the alternatives.

@tobee I think she is probably quite frail, she struggled up the step in the Lords and fell behind the others in the procession. I was concerned about her when she announced she would be standing again as an MP, she had two people helping her back to her car and her voice seemed weak.

"Yup. Ugh."

Might be time to switch off then.

I do like Stephen Flynn. Glad he kept his seat.

Oh fuck here he goes

No!!!!

Tv off now thank you

I'm on holiday so it's a bit tragic I'm watching in the first place

Couldn’t manage respect for 2 mins then, Farage?

O bloody hell. Looking at Farage makes me think that David Icke's reptile theory may have some truth to it.

pathetic little man

Oh Christ... shut up Nigel.

Nigel making it classy - not! What a disgrace he is.

Oooh! I love her hair! Nice to see a bit of colour!

Wow the pink hair and green suit combo is quite something! Like a character out of Willy Wonka.

Liz is fab and the hair is a bit of a signature.

TUV McAllister making it classy - not. Ex Reform.

Seems to be a pattern here. Disgrace 😞
